Taken from our film 'Transition" this excerpt shows Dave Macleod going for the send on Hold Fast hold True a bold E10 in an attempt to show Natalie Berry how harder trad routes go. But when pushing hard trad grades there's always the possibility for a whip.... and thats exactly what happens here .... - Фільми й анімація
The fact you were at the utmost point of failure when you say “shit”, still go for it, stick it and absolutely grip the hell out of it. Gnarly man
"I don't think I'd belayed anyone on a trad route before" - still hadn't belayed anyone on a trad route after either, to be fair :P
So you ARE mortal then! Well done for showing fails as well as all your amazing successes. Be careful Dave, you’ve nothing left to prove. 👍
send this to anyone who says you shouldn't do trad with a bouldering mat below you
do people actually say this? having a pad below you sounds pretty sensible.
I was one of those people until a couple of days ago, when I took an 8m groundfall. Might start using a pad, after my leg recovers of course...
@Pete is never wrong the same ones saying how they were "Elvis-ing" on the Sev 4a next door to you 😅
@@melancholiaenshrinesalltriumphyeah a lot of UK trad climbers feel having mats reduces the grade. The UK E (Extreme) grading system is numbered partly on the basis of risk and seriousness, so having mats below a route reduces the E grade. Many extremes put up in the 80s and 90s without mats now have people stacking loads of mats under them. Depends on your ethical stance. If you don't want risk, toprope ;-)
Dave is one of my all time climbing heroes. For sure. I've learned a lot from him on YT and in his books. Top bloke.
Good move bringing the pad! Glad you are OK. Thank you for sharing
I feel bad for him taking the fall, but I love that his attitude is to take responsibility for it, not the rock, the weather or the gods. Just himself.
Now & then a person comes along who is truly inspiring! One of the most admirable people of this generation. "Dave you f*cking idiot" says so much. I hope he knows his value as well as his insignificance.
well said.
Sky hooks are awesome, the look on people's faces when you ab off one then give the rope a little flick to remove it. Priceless! 😂
That Pad turned out to be a genius idea.
Fun to see that it isn't always perfect
Dave is the man, one of the absolute best..
Sky hooks look absolutely horrifying! Thumbs up for helmet though and glad you got away with "only" your ankle hurt!
Bloody hell that was a good fall!
woot; didn't see that coming
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻keep the spirit..🙏🙏
lucky to have that pad!
Don't die Dave! You're one of my favourite climbers D: How long ago was this?
This was back in 2014/2015 !
@@HotAches Could you start writing in the description what years the clips you publish are from? Cheers
'I got it... I got it... I don't got it..." Great clip but something tells me he sends it, eventually, I hope! :)
What a first trad belay experience...!
She seemed good-humored but from my perspective it's not very responsible to bring along a novice belayer on such a serious route. Glad he didn't deck on her.
Jeez, proper.
Is this route really just a single hook for all the gear and E10? May as well be soloing...
Same route as that solo fall! How high was Dave's fall?
Dusk a lot less than Julian Lines fall IIRC
@@largeformatlandscape I know, hence asking how high Dave's fall was.
@@crescentfuze a 1 second free fall is 16 feet. He was almost falling for that long.
If I remember, this is off the movie about Natalie Berry (I think) - Transition? The route itself is a Julian Lines line... it's a harder extension of Dave's route 'Hold Fast'... there's a vid of Jules taking a solo fall from even higher up with no pads and walking away completely unscathed.

Wow nasty. You were lucky Dave.
ummmmm not the ground lol. actually the fall mattress. if you really mean busness not sleepytime.
Why on earth not wait for a dry day?
Because Scotland
You'd be there all year
Complacency checks are always good. Would a second or third crashpad have changed the ancle injury outcome? Glad Dave walked away from here. And to all ye non trad climbing ethics bolting trigger fingers I say: Freedooooom! ;-)
Belayer should have taken when he was obviously about to fall
Hahaha, good one!
You can do something. Ease the climber's fall or keep him in balance as you would do while bouldering.
What should she do with her tiny body to a man falling on her from 20 feet? Ease the climber's fall at the cost of her being crushed, or keep him in balance in the split second while he's hurling towards the ground?
Best she could have done is not hold the rope at all, and instead position the mat in the landing zone.
with such a beautiful belayer it is easy to overcommit. totally understand! ;P
